Top 10 Poisons in the Modern World

Dichlorvos:

A moderately toxic insecticide. The original drug is flammable and the emulsifiable concentrate is flammable. Oral LD50 of the original drug in male rats: 80gm/kg; oral LD50 in female rats: 56mg/kg; transdermal LD50 in male rats: 107mg/kg; transdermal LD50 in female rats: 75mg/kg. The no-effect dose for male rats is 1000ppm. Bluegill TLm (24 hours) 1mg/L, giant sunfish 2 hours LC50: 1ppm. 80% of dichlorvos can be taken orally, absorbed through the skin or inhaled through the respiratory tract. Oral poisoning has a short incubation period, rapid onset, and critical condition. Coma is common and death occurs within tens of minutes. Those who take it orally will have obvious symptoms of gastrointestinal irritation.

Formalin: Many scientific studies and animal experiments have long pointed out that long-term exposure to formalin may cause cancer, and it has been listed as a "suspected carcinogen"! Trace amounts of formaldehyde are basically not very residual in the human body, and the metabolism is not slow. About 35% can be metabolized into formic acid, which is excreted in the urine in the form of formate, and the remaining 65% can continue to be metabolized into carbon dioxide and water for elimination. , but the biggest problem is: it may cause cell degeneration! And if the gene mutation test of bacteria, isolated human cells or animal cells is positive, the possibility of causing biological malformations cannot be ruled out!
